BILLFISH: This week Cabo
enjoyed beautiful weather with sunny skies, cool nights and mostly calm
seas which produced some great catches for our anglers – nearly every
boat out caught fish this week. Pisces anglers enjoyed a successful day
fishing ninety five percent of the time this period. Catch of the week
was that of Ed Purcell from Milwaukee, Wisconsin – a lake angler who
had the thrill of his life when he hooked up an out of season black
marlin aboard Pisces Ruthless.
The fish took dead bait at San Jaime and took about forty minutes to
bring to the boat – weight was just under 300 LBS, well done Ed!
Striped marlin were the species anglers were most likely to encounter
this past week with steady catches of up to three fish between and 100
and 140 LBS. Pisces Ruthless
was having a good week not only did they get the black marlin, but they
also released three striped marlin at La Antena, two on live bait and
one on a petrolero lure for a group from California headed up by David
Moore. The Brown family from Austin, Texas fished a little further at
Golden Gate, aboard Pisces Andrea and were also able to release three marlin and boat a dorado. Tracy Ann
always seems to make the fish report and this week is no exception;
they had a triple marlin day on January 15th for David Bales and friends
from San Diego also fishing at Golden Gate on the Pacific. The Gibsons
from Texas had a fabulous day aboard Pisces Valerie
with three striped marlin ranging in size from 80 to 140 LBS off of Las
Margaritas. Pisces anglers caught a total of 70 striped marlin and 1
black marlin this week.

OTHER SPECIES: Although
dorado was pretty steady this week, we can see that they are starting to
wind down. Catches were seldom of more than one to three fish with
weights up to 20 LBS. Twenty four percent of our boats caught dorado
for a total catch of 28 fish. Yellow fin tuna catches were on the slow
side and you had to go to San Jaime to find them – Pisces Bill Collector
had one of the best days when they caught a dozen for the Haith family
from Boise, Idaho – the fish were football size and took cedar plugs and
feathers. Other catches were of between one and ten fish. Just a
couple of small wahoo were caught this week. Sharks seem to be moving
back into the area – we had the first pilot shark that we have seen in
weeks. Inshore we are starting to get some small mako sharks. Pangas
are starting to see great inshore action with multiple catches of
ladyfish, skipjacks, small snappers and groupers.

About Pisces

www.piscessportfishing.com
We started off as a family owned and operated business out of the City of La Paz, Baja, Mexico in 1978 with one 28 ft boat. A couple of years later we moved to Cabo and since then we have grown to be the largest and most respected charter fleet in Mexico.
To keep pace with the growth of a more sophisticated market we gradually added more vessels and can now offer everything from the basic Baja Panga to mega yachts. Still, the favorite of most Cabo visitors(28-31ft) standard cruisers, seaworthy, clean boat, with very experienced crews which are great value for money. Slightly larger(32-48 ft), newer model, vessels with more comfort like salons and air-conditioning. Over 50 ft Sportfishers usually being new high tech vessels with great speed and more range. Last but not least, the Luxury Yachts, most being multi-purpose - fishing, cruising, snorkeling, diving -ideal for those want to be pampered with the very best.
What sets us apart are the relationships we form with our clients, long-term; our focus is service, value for money and experienced crews. We have a proven track record that keeps our guests returning year after year.
